Le poème de l'extase; Piano Concerto; Prométhée cover art

This compilation masterfully captures the legendary Russian composer's descent into ecstatic, highly complex mysticism. Featuring lush orchestral coloration and the radical, almost manic harmonic language of his later tone poems, the pristine recordings brilliantly showcase the philosophical density of his revolutionary 'mystic chord' theories.
